The Canadian women's soccer team lost to Sweden 2-1 Tuesday at the Beijing Games, but clinched a spot in the quarter-finals before it even took to the field.
Lotta Schelin scored for Sweden in the 19th minute, and added a second goal early in the second half. Melissa Tancredi replied for Canada in the 62nd minute.
Despite the loss, Canada advanced to the next round thanks to a 1-0 German victory over North Korea in an earlier Group F game.
On to the Quarters.
